So developers if you are reading this I really enjoy your game but can you tell me what to do or fix the problem if it is a bug? ### 4/5 — Great but problems *2021-11-24, version 1.84.49* It’s great and all you get the experience and all but I don’t like that when I battle certain robots and win against them in story mode I dont Unlock them in free sparring. And sometimes when you knock out a robot and it falls to the ground it glitches and gets back up and back down over and over again( I had this issue have t seen it recently though). Also let us have the built your robot cause nobody gone by that so that’s lost revenue right there. And the fighting is bland; like make it exciting instead of two mindless robots… just make the fighting look or seem more realistic and exciting cause it looks like two robots who make little movement and have no life in them. ### 4/5 — Good game but can’t compete with the other 2 *2021-08-29, version 1.84.49* This one seems like a newest version of all 3 here are some pointers get some better graphics make more stuff free and make bot evolution better and your bot looks different when you level it up ### 4/5 — For the developers *2021-05-12, version 1.84.39* I used to play this game a lot back then but now for some reason free sparing mode is locked. I try to unlock it but I’m stuck on chapter 5 the showdown I’m on six shooter bit he’s almost impossible to beat I know it’s supposed to be a challenge but I’m using a bot with better stats all around and I still can’t beat it. I’m getting really mad at it I payed 2 dollars for 20 of 5 boost and I still can’t beat him. I am pretty ok at the game but this just makes me want a refund it’s really annoying please fix. ### 4/5 — Good Game but needs to be fix *2020-10-09, version 1.84.34* I played this game a long time ago, I remember when Gridlock was announced. I got hyped, Now I reinstalled it and the game didn’t feel good at all. It was pay to win I felt like. I was playing story mode to find my self stuck on chapter 3 with an EV0 robot cause there Special does so much damage. I’m just saying you could organise the game more and fix the damage that robots do. ### 3/5 — I love the movie *2020-07-07, version 1.84.21* And the game but I liked the old version of the game better now the bots are more rigged and we have to earn the bots some of the bots that had to be earned were already unlock in the older version and it is all brighter the old one was cool and had good graphics and the adds of trying to make me buy things that’s annoying so what I’m saying is that the old one is way way way better ### 4/5 — It's fun but i have to do stuff for everything! *2020-06-04, version 1.84.15* The game is really good but i don't like that i have to play live events to level up and when i do i have to play more live events to get level up cores to evolve robots and i don't like i have to beat chapter 6 to do free sparring and, well it is just worse this way. But it is a really fun game I enjoy! ### 4/5 — Bug that’s really annoying PLEASE READ *2020-05-23, version 1.84.15* So you know how you can get trophies by completing play modes? Well for some reason every time I buy a new robot with trophies my trophy count resets. Now there are not enough trophies to get cosmobot and trigore. PLEASE Fix it. I tried rebooting the game and restarting my phone but this hasn’t been an issue until now please read this and fix the issue. It’s never happened before and it doesn’t say you changed it in your version history I feel like this is only happening to me ### 4/5 — Robots that can’t be built. *2019-06-19, version 1.43.13* I have always loved the movie Real Steel so I’m a big big fan of this game. However, I do not enjoy that some robots you can buy cannot be used in the Build tab. For instance, Metro is a bot I thought was awesome, and his second version is even greater yet I can’t use his parts in the robot customization. The game is fun & great, but I would really appreciate implementing the characters you buy/earn into the customization. Otherwise, what’s the point of having really cool bots and NOT being able to make your own with them? The bot with the scythe, don’t even add his scythe, you can just add his parts or move set instead. It doesn’t have to be 100% perfect, but at least try to implement them. That’d be all and thank you. ### 5/5 — Good but 1 complaint *2019-05-27, version 1.43.5* GREAT GAME don’t get me wrong but the complaint is that I wish you didn’t charge for the robots I mean there was a character I wanted but I couldn’t get it anyway just writing i don’t no if its stupid that I wrote if not tell me please👍👌 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Okay *2021-08-02, version 1.84.49* For money I honestly thought this game would be better .. nope my robot hand just goes right though other robots head. Oh and beat the actual crap of other bots but 2 hits your bot is done for so you sit there smashing Buttons for 5 minutes just to get 2 pieced in 2 seconds.. really need to better job on this game, I have seen free game tha run so much smoother and over all are a lot better than this. Actually wish I could get my money back :/ ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2021-02-09, version 1.84.39* I’m disappointed if this game didn’t cost money I’d give it a two star rating because this same company made way better games about real steel that are free, in short terms this is an accidental scam made by the developers because they are to lazy to update this game and continue it, they only have updates for GET THIS FOR 50 percent OFF whenever it always cost that much in the first place I am litterly running out of storage on my phone because of the countless notifications saying GET THIS GET THIS GET THIS. Conclusion don’t make the mistake of getting this game till the developers fix it. ### 1/5 — Where is my money *2019-04-29, version 1.43.5* I just bought this game today after I have seen the movie before when I was younger and I played all the time why my cousin when I everything was free. I loved it back then. We used to challenge to see who could beat zues first now everything has a bit wall or you have grind to beat ridiculously hard cpu and I recently bought the ten dollar villains pack and it said purchase was successful on my iPhone then I waited another ten seconds and it said that this is corrupt software. I hit restore software a couple times and it still said that it was a corrupt copy, I want my money right now please. I’m probably going to delete this gam until they fix it. I do not recommend this game to anyone ### 2/5 — This game is fun for just a few minutes. *2022-04-30, version 1.84.70* Look this game is good alright, but the problem is that the bots advance and can break your combo if they need. They can also do a repeat attack and just doing the same combo. It’s very annoying, especially metro. However this game should have some more settings like to change the theme of the game to the original. So do I recommend to get this for one dollar? No, get somthing like plants vs zombies. ### 2/5 — Plz fix this problem. *2021-02-04, version 1.84.39* You make the boys entirely way to good and the mechanics are off. I’ll got to do a special move and it won’t even let me do it. I will do other moves and try again but it’s like with some of the other bots it just doesn’t want to work which I think needs to be fixed and the speed on each hand is entirely different as well. I’ll throw with the left and it’s like he doesn’t want to throw and with the right hand it’s good cause he’s faster with it then the left which I don’t see how and it’s a robot. I feel like my game is just broken... ### 2/5 — Having some issues *2019-10-15, version 1.44.18* I started playing this game a pretty long time ago, back when i first got my ipod touch (i think it was like a 3 or a 4) but now i have issues. 1: My purchase restoring thing doesn’t work, i did upgrade to a new phone, but didn’t make a new account or anything so i was quite dissatisfied to find out that my pack i bought with all the original game bots was not loading. Is this just where i haven’t beat enough of the story mode or what? (if so i understand cause i can’t be asura on chapter 4) (any tips please leave them) ### 2/5 — FIX THE GOD DAMED FIGHTS *2019-07-13, version 1.43.23* If you fight any other robot they will be able to break your combos which you can’t do to them, have longer range then you and even if it says you have the same health as you and less damage then you there health bar goes on for a mile wile yours is like a foot and your punches will be as affective as a flick will when it says the have less damage there punch will affectively take away half your health. It’s ok but the fights get super hard and unfair if they fix that this game would be great. ### 2/5 — Horrible *2019-03-04, version 1.43.5* It keeps asking by me too use the special move otherwise I can’t pass that person or I have to do it over again which is really annoying and I can’t use the special move because it keeps disappearing before I can click it other than that I haven’t well can’t surpass enough to know what’s wrong ### 3/5 — Fun But… *2022-03-20, version 1.84.52* This game at first is really fun, but once you get into the game more it gets so hard I cant even explain. When it says the robot is a lower level than me, it like it’s going sicko mode. Then when I update the robot it doesn’t really do anything. And I had it on easy mode, just please make it easier for kids, because people will actually like your game. Thank you! :) ### 3/5 — Stop asking for my money. *2020-11-08, version 1.84.34* Hello reliance games, im just here to tell you something about your Real Steel (First one) game. Can you please add a game currency? Instead of paying for robots to unlock them, why not add coins to the game to unlock them. It saves up a lot of money for people, and you could get better reviews on the app store. Anyways, just add atleast a game currency, Coins, to unlock robots from paying them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Real Steel is awesome! *2022-04-03, version 1.84.70* real steel is my favorite game since the movie is my favorite movie. (and 1st movie i’ve ever seen) when i was in pre-k, i tried to fight kids and it’s been there for me for a long time. i am 10 and i still like real steel. ### 5/5 — this is why it’s a good game. *2022-03-21, version 1.84.52* Because you first get noisy boy then you fight until you get ambush then after that you fight with your all the way to the part where you get Midas then I pressed claim on gold atom and I got gold Atom then I fart my way with Midas to get blue bot then I found my way with a blue want to get metro gridlock before metro was quite hard but I got it and now I’m stuck finding on the show down trying to get EV lock ambush that super strong stronger than my Gold atom that’s why I know I’m not playing story mode until I level up Metro stronger so I can get him to EV Lock too so then I can defeat that ambush even though ambushes are supposed to be super weak that one is strong! ### 5/5 — Great game, but one problem *2020-12-29, version 1.84.39* I love this game and have been a big fan of the 2011 movie, so I bought this original version that I used to play when I was a little kid. I made custom robots, but I tried playing campaign mode with my custom robot and the first match I was able to play with my custom robot, but the rest of the matches the game switched my second robot to my first custom robot. That's my only problem with this game. ### 5/5 — Hard progress *2020-12-07, version 1.84.35* Hi and i have a problem when I log off the game it takes my progress can you guys fix it pls ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-11-26, version 1.84.35* This game is awesome I’ve gotten all of the other real steel games and out of the 4 ones this one is the best One thing I think u should add is that we should be able to sell our robots for stars or trophies or something by there’s a lot of robots I don’t use One problem is that sometimes when I go to multiplayer and fight against my dad and sister when I do a special move it glitches idk if it’s my dad be he spams a lot but if it’s not pls fix it ### 5/5 — Nice, very nice *2020-10-21, version 1.84.34* This game for sure has the best graphics out of all the real steal games, and it’s pretty impressive. The downsides about the game though is that for a lot of the robots, you have to buy. I’m still going to put 5 stars though, as the customer support was really nice and responded to me quickly. My overall suggestions is to make robots earn able by playing the game, and possibly downgrade some of the evolution bots. Seriously though, azura was crazy hard to beat even at evolution 1. ### 5/5 — Awesome with a cherry on Top *2020-10-02, version 1.84.21* So I got this game and thought it would be like the other games of real steel No IT IS BETTER since I got it for like 1 dollar or is it 2 eh I don’t care the /robots are a reasonable price / All Robots customizable not complaining about it Too much but it would be nice if you did/that’s all sooooo 1 more question Do you listen to your comments ### 5/5 — This *2020-06-25, version 1.84.21* I’m a big fan of the movie I love it I have been playing this game since it first came out I don’t enjoy the that you have to earn fighting modes I don’t like it I like the old version because it brings back memories of when I was a kid and yea that’s all thank you ### 5/5 — Having trouble with live events *2019-10-18, version 1.45.14* The game is awesome, but I’m having trouble with the live events, I already updated the game but it only says coming soon. I participated on the last live event and upgraded my tri gore. Please help developers! Thank you. ### 5/5 — Real steel’s greats and bads *2019-07-07, version 1.43.23* Real steel is a great game because you can build your own robot and upgrade it I also like it because you can do the same fights in the movie I did all of the Noisy boy vs Midas,Atom vs Metro,Atom vs Twin Cities,Atom vs Zeus some bads are you can’t get the bull when it ambush vs the bull when you do the story mode when you get to Chapter 9 and 10 you don’t get as much damage the enemy the Chapter 1-3 and u don’t start from the corner in the beginning of the fight That’s All Hope you Enjoy the game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
